Understanding Tamper Detection on Roru One
Roru One includes comprehensive tamper detection systems that protect against physical attacks and automatically secure keys when tampering is detected.
Overview
What is Tamper Detection?
Tamper detection monitors:
Physical Tampering: Physical device modification
Environmental Attacks: Voltage, thermal, frequency attacks
Unauthorized Access: Attempts to access secure element
Device Modification: Firmware or hardware modification
Protection Response
Automatic Response:
Immediate key erasure
Device lock
Security alerts
Protection activated
